    About this ebook

    To all my friends and readers who admire poetry.I have compiled 35 poems to warm your heart on a chilly day or soothe you in a moment of stress. For me, poetry is a healing experience. When one writes a poem there is a healing takes place within, and I do believe that when one reads a poem the same thing happens.
    Here, I have attempted to paint pictures and write music that might flow on the pages and swoop you away to some unknown place of peace and beauty. Poetry fulfills a shrunken spirit.
